The forewings are snow-white with a large rounded dark fuscous patch extending from the middle of the dorsum over the posterior half of the wing but not reaching the costa and leaving an irregular white terminal line to the tornus. The hindwings are grey-whitish, with an apical blotch of light grey suffusion. The larvae feed on the bark of Schleichera trijuga.
